Welcome to the 2012 1/10th Electric Off-Road FEMCA-CUP

Dear RC Friends,

We are very proud to announce the EL Off Road FEMCA CUP to be held in Japan 6th to 8th April 2012.

This is the first experience for EL OFF-Road FEMCA CUP ever. At this time 1/8 Gas power buggy is a major category in the countries belonging to FEMCA , also popular is EL Track where as at this time EL OFF-ROAD is just not so major in our Bloc. However we hope this might also become an attractive category for the bloc in the future as it is in Japan. Every year at the Japanese Nationals we see more than 120 participants in this category. Participants ranging from the very the proficient and serious along with many just for fun racers competition in this category nationally. We would like to use this opportunity to advance this attractive category for FEMCA member countries.

We have chosen to use the YATABE ARENA as the host venue, YATABE is based here in Tsukuba city Ibaraki Japan, this is a purpose built al l-weather arena dedicated to RC.

They opened this Brand new facility in July2011. There are 5 tracks at the site, BIG On- road track, Small On-road track for beginner, Drifting tracks and also the BIG OFF-Road track which we will be using for this event. It is just such an amazing facility for playing RC where they also prepare loan cars so everybody / beginners can be introduced to enjoyment and experience driving RC.

Please come and experience and enjoy these amazing facilities. Anyway, we do hope you will join in the fun for this amazing weekend.

We will also have manufactures teams on hand to pass on to advise and assist you to help you get the best from you racing.

And We must tell you also…..The beginning of April is very precious time in Japan, We have four seasons in a year , Spring Summer, Autumn and Winter as you know. Especially in the beginning of April, it is mid Spring, and getting warmer day by day. A lot of flowers blooming, the Cherry-blossom “SAKURA” is beautiful & blooming during this season.
